Daniel Henshall and Ian Meadows have joined the cast of 'Clickbait', the Netflix-commissioned eight-part thriller shooting in Melbourne.
The coronavirus pandemic has resulted in the cancellation of four screen industry events, halted production on Netflix's Clickbait and two major movies, and postponed shooting of two big TV reality shows.
"I feel like one of the lucky ones though. As writer and director, I work from home 90 per cent of the time. I’ve been self-isolating for 15 years and my husband is an introvert."
Australian directors working on productions in the US get far more time, money and resources than they were accustomed to at home.
Screenwest will help fund the development of six new features from creatives including Alison James, Roderick MacKay, Zak Hilditch, Ben Young, Martin Wilson and Stephen McCallum.
WA director Ben Young will bring his US feature 'Where All Light Tends to Go', starring Billy Bob Thornton, Robin Wright, and Hopper Penn, back to his home state for post-production, having wrapped filming in Atlanta, Georgia.
Martin Wilson's 'Pieces' has punched well above its weight in the WA Screen Culture Award (WASCA) nominations, securing 11 nods across eight categories.
WA director Ben Young's US crime drama 'Devil's Peak' will open this year's Revelation Perth International Film Festival, to be held in July at Luna Cinemas Leederville.
